Default Question from a London visitor . . .

Question for all you experts out there . . .

I will be in London for a week and in the past i would just buy a tube
pass for the week. Is there a better travel card if i planned to use
the tube a great deal? I might take the bus now and again but the tube
will be my main transport.

Any advice is appreciated (and I mean that sincerely)

Richard

As others have said, a Travelcard of some variety is what you need.
If you are a tourist, I reccomend using the buses, as although it takes
longer, you see far more, once you've got the travel card it is FREE,
unlike tour buses.
Although I don't live in London, whenever we've had foreign vistors, and
gone to London, we've generally used the buses. The top front of a
double decker can give a wonderful view. Our favourite was to go from
Paddington Station to Tower Bridge. Don't know which services run double
deckers at the moment.
